Emily Clayton

I left secondary school June last year with good grades and moved on to Club Doncaster Sports College. At college I have been studying different areas of sport for my coursework and achieving distinctions on all assignments. Along with the course I play football for the college team playing against other college teams across the country. I also play football outside of college playing for my local team, Harworth Colliery Under 18s Girls Football Club. I have played for them since 2019 and have always put a shift in at all positions that I have been put in. I stand in as captain when needed and hope to become captain of my college team next year.

I studied at Serlby Park Academy for my secondary years where I was able to achieve the grades I wanted at GCSE level. Plus, I worked hard with my coursework and exams for my option subjects to achieve Level 2 Distinction Star in Sport Science and Level 2 Distinction in Health and Social Care. During my time in Year 10, I completed the Bronze Duke of Edinburgh award where I was able to develop my confidence and improve my communication and teamwork skills. I have played a variety of sports in my life including swimming, gymnastics, and football. Football is an ongoing passion of mine that I have played since I was young. I joined Harworth Colliery Girls Football Club in 2019 and have continued my football journey there. I have played football for my secondary school team where I trained and played some fixtures. I now play for my college team where I am constantly improving as a player and developing my skills and hope to become captain of the college team next year.

I have many hobbies. My main passion is football which I have thoroughly enjoyed for many years. I play for college and for my local team and I feel most confident in myself when playing. Football has helped me in many ways and I always aim to strive to be the best I can when playing. I love watching football and will watch any football that is on and will watch my local team when I can. I also enjoy going on walks around my village and the local area and enjoy going on different adventures. I am currently learning to drive which I am really enjoying and hope to pass my test so I can become more independent.
